Half Moon Bar & Restaurant

I order from here probably once a week when my SO is at work and I am never disappointed. The food is good, they are quick to deliver and everything is always hot. The jalapeño poppers are to die for along with their onion rings and large burgers! If you are looking for something inexpensive and quick but filling I say look no further!

Cheap drinks and cheap food. They have a lot of space in here to hang out from beat up couches to small tables and a full bar. They have skeeball in the back, pool tables, and darts for you bar game folk. The food is below average bar food though.

My server at Juan’s Flying Burrito suggested this place for nightcap. Over the course of my trip, I learned that the bar and the restaurant are separate entities, so this will be a 2 for 1 review. The bar: Mark the bartender is an incredible person. He is friendly, great at his job, attentive to all of his customers, and just a laid back person who makes you want to end your day at the Half Moon. The locals are friendly, and will strike up any type of conversation with you. There’s ski ball, lottery machines, music box, pool tables, booths, couches, and tables arranged all around this large building. They even have a patio in the back where you can bring your dog through the doggie door. Con: the ladies working behind the bar weren’t as personable to the tourist. I had gone a few times without getting my drink refilled because of the cattiness going on at the end of the bar. Also, my last night there a rather large cockroach was climbing up and down the wall behind the bar. Grill/​Restaurant: The staff was very friendly, helpful, and courtesy to all their customers — especially Lauren and Carl. The food portions were decent size but I feel that the shrimp Po Boy was lacking shrimp. I could taste more bread then shrimp for the $ 12 meal. I tried the Vegetarian Burger — per the suggestion of 2 employees — and it had a unique after taste. The side salad was great and so were the cheesy fries. I did have an issue with the cook not wearing gloves while cooking; include mixing the salad with his bare hands. He also wasn’t wearing a hairnet to cover his long hair, but he did have it pulled back in a ponytail. I thought it was great to see the owner of the business assisting the one cook in the kitchen, when orders got backed up.

I’m really shocked to see the negative comments about the food here. I placed a delivery order around 1:15 this morning. I felt bad for ordering so close to the closing time, but the guy on the phone politely told me that it was no issue, that they take delivery orders until 1:50 am. I ordered buffalo wings and my girlfriend ordered a burger. He told me it’d be 45 mins to an hour, which is to be expected. Not only did the food arrive in exactly 45 minutes (which is amazing considering that I live in the riverbend/​Carrollton area), it was hot upon arrival. The delivery guy was very nice despite the time. Not to mention that the food was DELICIOUS. Nothing seemed to be frozen or microwaved to me, as past reviews have said. I’m grateful for the day I found this menu on my porch. Will definitely be ordering again!

The gyro wrap here is on point. The meat is tender and has an authentic gyro taste. This coming from a guy who has ate plenty of gyros in Astoria Queens. My buddy had the moonburger and he also seemed pleased. Good bar food and they play NBA games.

HORRIBLE!!! Horrible service!!! And cold food!!, The waitress I think her name was Paula, she was horrible, nasty attitude and just impatient! My food was Cold by the time it was delivered. I ordered at 7:18 and decided since she was mean I’d pick it up, so it was no longer a delivery order; however, I called back at 7:25 for delivery again because I couldn’t leave work!!! I didn’t receive my food till 9:30 :((!!! I ordered spinach artichoke dip with chips (they sent pita), loaded fries and a shrimp po-​boy dressed no tomatoes. I waited till I got off from work at 10:30 to bring it back. The manager/​owner just got the order recooked and didn’t give me my dip!!!

Love to come for watching sports and having some drinks. The food though, skip it. Loses one star for tasting like something out of a supermarket freezer then nuked in a microwave. I was told they are working at bringing the eating experience up to the standards you get from the drinking experience, which is A+. Reasonably priced beverages, good service. Loses another star from the bar-​staff vetoing my jukebox songs after I put money into it. Why have the songs on the jukebox if a paying customer can’t play them? Overall come for the drinks and game watching.

I give this place 5 stars for having possibly the only Redwood tree within 100 square miles. No minor accomplishment. How did they keep is alive in this heat?

I realize this is first and foremost a bar and not a restaurant. But even for bar food– this was disgusting and expensive. Our food was clearly from the freezer straight to the microwave. Definitely do not recommend the food, but the bar could be totally worth it– I don’t know.

Good atmosphere with a photo booth, skew ball, and pool tables… Only negative and the reason this is a 3 star review is because I got a top shelf marg and the mofo was $ 9! Also was in a high ball glass…

Love this place. Great location, good crowd, fun atmosphere, AMAZING food. Fun place to go watch games, or just chill and have a few drinks. They also deliver, which I love.

Pretty cool spot, drinks are average priced but very strong. The space is spacious and not as dive-​y as you’d initially think. Overall it was fun. I’ll be back

Just ordered delivery but our food was here in half the time promised, the driver was super nice, and the burgers were delicious!

The Half Moon is my favorite mediocre, milquetoast bar in the LGD. They have a jukebox, board games, darts, and a pool table. Also there’s a punching bag that you can head butt after you’ve had shots. Entertainment galore!
The drinks are reasonably priced. The dart boards are usually filled with sloppy drunks that make it not worth playing. Unless you’re a sadist, in which case the thrill of the possibility that someone might get darted in the face might keep you interested.
The outside patio is amazing. It’s shady enough that it’s nice to hang out there on all about the hottest, muggiest nights.

They deliver until 2am they deserve 5 stars for that. But the food never disappoints. My picky orders are no problem. Have always spoken with nice people. Never actually been there but have ordered delivery over a dozen times

They don’t even deserve one star. They charge for ketchup, hot sauce packets, and all condiments they don’t tell you either they forget half your order then complain about correcting it. avoid if you can food is bad comes cold and they have overall bad service highly disappointing and they’ll tell you because they have to pay for condiments they mind as well up charge for what should come with your meal.

This bar is looking less appealing every time I show up. One the food is consistently getting worse, the management is so inconsistent that they can’t figure out whether dogs are allowed in back patio or not, and really getting filthy and run down with the army of cockroaches. I can’t believe I’m going to say this but I’d rather go to down the hatch across the street. Don’t waste your time or money here.

Pretty average dive bar. Cool location. They have bike racks, which is a plus.
Nibbled on some others’ chicken fingers and cheese fries, and they’re probably worth paying for.

Located on the corner, this bar is a great spot to kill time hanging with cronies over a beer, some pool, and tv’s to watch LSU on.
The bar is definitely a smoke pit and gets a lil stinky as the night goes on. But hell, that’s a typical New Orleans bar, right?!

This a smoky bar that serves up good drinks. Any bar that allows smoking while serving food automatically gets down graded. if they did either one separately, it would be 4 stars for the bar, and 5 stars for the kitchen. They have a daily drink special, so check out the chalkboard. They have a good kitchen that serves up great food. My current fav is the Northern Philly. The bread is a little crunchier than your usual french bread, but it does the job well of soaking up the juices from the meat, and won’t fall apart on you.
The bar also hosts a weekly trivia night that I haven’t been to in years, so I can’t really tell you more about it.
